## About
With this python library you can request data from [forecast.solar](https://forecast.solar) and see what your solar panels may produce in the coming days.
## Installation
```bash
pip install forecast-solar
```
## Data
This library returns a lot of different data, based on the API:
### Energy
- Total Estimated Energy Production - today/tomorrow (kWh)
- Estimated Energy Production - This Hour (kWh)
- Estimated Energy Production - Next Hour (kWh)
- Estimated Energy Production - Remaining today (kWh)
### Power
- Highest Power Peak Time - Today (datetime)
- Highest Power Peak Time - Tomorrow (datetime)
- Estimated Power Production - Now (W)
- Estimated Power Production - Next Hour (W)
- Estimated Power Production - In +6 Hours (W)
- Estimated Power Production - In +12 Hours (W)
- Estimated Power Production - In +24 Hours (W)
### API Info
- Timezone
- Rate limit
- Account type
- Rate remaining
### Validation
- API key (bool)
- Plane (bool)
## Example
```python
import asyncio
from forecast_solar import ForecastSolar
async def main() -> None:
"""Show example on how to use the library."""
async with ForecastSolar(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
latitude=52.16,
longitude=4.47,
declination=20,
azimuth=10,
kwp=2.160,
damping=0,
damping_morning=0.5,
damping_evening=0.5,
horizon="0,0,0,10,10,20,20,30,30",
) as forecast:
estimate = await forecast.estimate(actual=2.315)
print(estimate)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
```
## ForecastSolar object

| --------- | ---------- | ----------- |
| `api_key` | `str` | Your API key from [forecast.solar](https://forecast.solar) (optional) |
| `declination` | `int` | The tilt of the solar panels (required) |
| `azimuth` | `int` | The direction the solar panels are facing (required) |
| `kwp` | `float` | The size of the solar panels in kWp (required) |
| `damping` | `float` | The damping of the solar panels, [read this][forecast-damping] for more information (optional) |
| `damping_morning` | `float` | The damping of the solar panels in the morning (optional) |
| `damping_evening` | `float` | The damping of the solar panels in the evening (optional) |
| `inverter` | `float` | The maximum power of your inverter in kilo watts (optional) |
| `horizon` | `str` | A list of **comma separated** degrees values, [read this][forecast-horizon] for more information (optional) |
## estimate() method
| Parameter | value type | Description |
| --------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `actual` | `float` | The production in kWh for the current day so far. Only used when an API key is provided (optional) |

## Setting up development environment
This Python project relies on [Poetry][poetry] as its dependency manager,
providing comprehensive management and control over project dependencies.
You need at least:
- Python 3.11+
- [Poetry][poetry-install]
### Installation
Install all packages, including all development requirements:
```bash
poetry install
```
_Poetry creates by default an virtual environment where it installs all
necessary pip packages_.
### Pre-commit
This repository uses the [pre-commit][pre-commit] framework, all changes
are linted and tested with each commit. To setup the pre-commit check, run:
```bash
poetry run pre-commit install
```
And to run all checks and tests manually, use the following command:
```bash
poetry run pre-commit run --all-files
```
### Testing
It uses [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/) as the test framework. To run the tests:
```bash
poetry run pytest
```
To update the [syrupy](https://github.com/tophat/syrupy) snapshot tests:
```bash
poetry run pytest --snapshot-update
```
